In reply to the discussion: Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'. [View all]Cha
(298,835 posts)43. Aloha PeggySue! I remember that about Asshole Ghazi Hamad saying HAMAS had NO
responsibility to protect Palestinians.. it was up to Israel.. I had forgotten the UN part. I'll try to find that.. TY I can't find it!
And, so many want to Protect HAMAS.. when Israel Points out what they're doing they mindlessly Chime. basically.. It's All Israel's fault.
But while I was looking for it I found this..
The truth of Hamas is in its charter
Similarly, a close reading of Hamas charter, which was created in 1987 and revised in 2017, explains a lot about its decision to slaughter innocent Jewish civilians, and unleash a reaction that has inevitably claimed innocent Palestinian lives as well.
After Hamas takeover, Israel imposed a blockade on Gaza, controlling travel and trade in and out of the coastal enclave. Hamas, which the United States, Israel, the European Union, Canada, Egypt, and Japan designate as a terrorist organization, had by 2006 conducted terror attacks in Israel that killed 506 and wounded thousands. After the blockade, the number of attacks plummeted.
But Hamas has never changed its aspirations to wrest control of all of Israel by killing its Jews a goal you will see clearly when you read the Hamas charter, as I did on Tuesday
The charters description of Jews echoes millennia of antisemitic tropes.

Actually, there is no textbook that defines ethnic cleansing in legal terms.

You believe it's Israel's intent to completely destroy everyone of Palestinian descent?

I'm not asking anyone to prove intent, just if, in their opinion, if it's Israel (or Netanyahu's) intent to annihilate

"There's nothing 'pretend' about genocide" is exacxtly why this agenda-driven talking point is so offensive.

Innocent civilians pay the price in every war but that does not make it genocide

Kind of how you have a big blind spot whenever a certain group of terrorists who started all this is mentioned
